Anti-Lynching. But no, the Republicans aren’t racist, and you’re probably a terrorist for even thinking that. That’s the politics of personal destruction! That’s a personal attack! Why do the loony anti-lynching lefties hate America so much? HUH?

Incidentally, this list would seem to indicate that 37.25% of Senate Republicans think lynching was A-Ok. Yeah, you’re right, that is more than a third!

The “vote” was “unanimous” because the republican obstructionists wouldn’t let the matter come to a roll-call vote. Voice votes are all unanimous, even if there’s only one senator present. Consponsorship is the issue here, and since any senator can cosponsor this resolution even now, I think it’s reasonable to wonder about these senators who don’t want to sing on with this resolution. And since it’s my blog, I’ll be deciding when it’s “time to move on”, not you. 🙂

Note how “Anonymous” framed the issue as a problem of “southern Democrats.” Perhaps Mr. Anonymous would like to comment on where those Southern Democratic votes went after LBJ signed the 1964 voting rights act. Or would Mr. Anonymous prefer to “move on”?
